RSS Supports Women’s Right To Enter Temples

Taking a U-turn from its previous stand, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has now extended its support to the call for allowing women’s entry into temples across the country.

Earlier, it had said that the reasons behind traditions restricting entry of women in temples like Sabarimala needed to be understood.

In its annual report, which was recently released, it said:

“Because of some unfair traditions, at certain places there has been a lack of consensus on the question of temple entry. Such sensitive issues should be resolved through discussion and dialogue and not through agitations.”
